If you’ve been used to aligning your disks under windows 2000/2003, it may be a thing of the past. Evidently, Windows 2008 changes the way volumes are created.

For some background go here and here.

It seems Basic, GPT and Dynamic disks are now aligned on creation at 1 MB, under Windows Server 2008. No diskpar / diskpart commands are needed anymore. You won’t suffer any performance degradation and you don’t need to remember the commands each time. For a refresher, try this post.

Question:

How can I get a count of items in a user’s Exchange mailbox?

Answer:

Use PFDAVadmin and enable logging to file.

1. Tools Menu > Options > Enable logging to file checkbox

2. Tools Menu > Export Properties

3. Select only the following three properties

PR_CONTENT_COUNT : 0×36020003

PR_DISPLAY_NAME : 0×3001001E

PR_FOLDER_PATHNAME : 0×66B5001E

4. Choose a file path to save to

5. Click OK to start processing.

Note: You may find better success importing the resultant file to MS Access if your exchange environment is extremely large. The reason for this is due to versions of Excel and limits they have, to the number of records per worksheet.
